Holas!!! This week was awesome! We had a conference with Elder Bragg from the 70! It was amazing the advice he gave us good training on how to better serve the people here in Argentina and to better accelerate the missionary work. A lot was shared, but the main idea is to serve one by one, everyone to their needs. In other words, we need to seek the Spirit to guide us diligently to help us know what our investigators need to hear or learn in the moment. We did that with Gabriel and his wife Talia, who told us they weren't too sure about accepting other scriptures other than the Bible. In that moment, we changed our lesson and focused on teaching about the Book of Mormon and testifying that God still speaks to His children (us!) and that we can still receive more from Him if we ask diligently! A cool miracle this week was we were walking to our next appointment and I told my companion that I felt kinda bad since we hadn't really talked to a lot of people that day and we wanted to meet our goal of finding 4 new friends to teach and share the gospel before the end of the week. As I said that, I felt inspired to walk down a side street to find a family to teach. I felt prompted that we would find someone. We walk past a house and there was a married couple outside chilling with their kids - Dario and his wife Valeria. We stopped to talk and they invited us to sit down and share what we had to offer as missionaries. It was a MIRACLE! We taught about the church and the Book of Mormon, how it is the word of God and can help us come closer unto Christ. They told us they wanted to learn more and as a result we met (and surpassed) our goal for the week! I always try to follow spiritual promptings while I ́m in the streets looking for God's elect, because there are people who are waiting for us to come to change their lives and help them come unto Christ and be saved. I love being a missionary! I also visited my converts and friends from ParanĂ¡ since I had a few hours to kill before the conference with Elder Bragg. I love and miss them all a lot!!! Also my dad had heart surgery this week, and he's ok but it gave me a scare. I fasted and prayed for him and I was able to put all my trust in the Lord while I worked this week. Easily a spiritual moment and lifelong lesson I will cherish as I put my trust in Him, everything will be alright in the end... Love yall!!! - Elder Englebright
